Ravens’ Mark Andrews is facing scrutiny after two key mistakes in a playoff loss to the Bills
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews learned the hard way how important each game is, especially in the playoffs, as the team fell to the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round.
Andrews came under the microscope following a fourth-quarter fumble that led to a Bills field goal on Buffalo’s next drive and a touchdown pass on a two-point conversion attempt on the team’s final drive. Buffalo won the game, 27-25.

The three-time Pro Bowler caught five of seven targets for 61 yards. But it was those two critical games that had the NFL talking. Andrews took the brunt of the criticism for the mistakes.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh and Andrews’ teammates supported him after the game.
“We wouldn’t be here without Mark Andrews,” Harbaugh said, via The Athletic.

It was a good point from Harbaugh as Andrews had 55 catches for 673 yards in 2024. He also caught a career high 11 touchdowns.
“For anybody to say anything about themselves, you have to look in the mirror,” Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton said.
Baltimore turned the ball over three times in the loss.
The Ravens once again failed to reach the Super Bowl. The team hasn’t appeared in a game since the 2012 season, when Joe Flacco was on the pill.
